Meet the Jonas Team

Meet the Jonas Sales Team

At Jonas Software, we pride ourselves on being the leading provider of integrated software solutions for contractors in North America. While we do believe that we have the best solution in the market, we feel that the people and services that back our product is what gives us an advantage over our competition. We put client service first! For this reason we manage all aspects of our product and service delivery from our head office. From sales to training to ongoing support and account management you can be assured that you are working with fully trained Jonas personnel. The one downside to our methodology is that we seldom get face to face time with prospective clients until the training begins. With this in mind we have put together this group of brief bios and photos so that you can associate a face to the names of the various people at Jonas that you may speak with during the sales process.

Patrick Arkeveld, President  

  

Patrick joined Jonas in 2003 and subsequently occupied various roles within both the Club and Construction Sales Groups.  After a few years in sales Patrick was promoted to further grow our International business as Director of UK Operations.  While in the UK Patrick helped expand the Jonas footprint and played a key role in opening up opportunities in the Middle East and Africa.  In 2008 Patrick returned to our head office as the Director of Club Operations where he was responsible for both the Support and Professional Services groups. Finally, in 2010, Patrick was appointed President of the Construction division. Patrick holds an MBA from Queens University.
